Canadian Food (eatCanadian)

Why buy Canadian?

Canadian farmers and processors provide some of the
best food in the world to Canadian dinner tables. Canada's agriculture
and food products reflect our country's dedication to excellence, and
our deep commitment to safety, quality, environmental responsibility
and innovation.

From the farm and the fishing boat to your table, our nutritious and wholesome foods are created from the
highest quality inputs, carefully grown and raised in Canada's clean, natural environment.

Food as rich as its land

Our harvesting practices are among the most efficient in the world. Canada's vast and varied land,
bounded by oceans on three sides and dotted with freshwater lakes, nurtures a diverse range of high-quality food ingredients.

Care, commitment and pride

Canadian laws and regulations provide world-class production standards to be met in every sub-sector of
the industry with care and commitment. Many proud processors seek to exceed those standards by working with customers to satisfy
their needs and tastes.

Canada is blessed with a rich heritage; from our native peoples to waves of immigrants brought by an adventurous
spirit and a desire to make a better life – all have added their traditions and tastes to Canada's food offerings.
